New Vance City

P
Pollution

New Vance City is a post-collapse RPG where survival means customizing everything—classes, skills, races, and gear are all unique. Set in 2070, a year after the world cracked and the infected rose, this cyberpunk dystopia pulses with story-rich factions, brutal politics, and unforgettable characters. Forge your path in a smog-choked ruin where the line between savior and syndicate blurs with every shot fired. Fight zombies, raiders, and mutated creatures and test your survival in New Vance City!


Author's Note: The year is 2070, one year after the Collapse. The place? New Vance City. Skeletal remains of skyscrapers pierce the smog-choked sky. Patches of overgrown desert flora claw at cracked asphalt. Inside, survivors try to make the best of their fragile existence, repurposing solar panels and scavenging for supplies. Kids growing up in this hell hole play amongst the ruins of the city, their laughter a thin, hopeful melody that just isn't strong enough to pierce through the grim ambiance of the city. Life here is filled with nothing but scarcity and fear. Every creak in the night, every flicker in the solar grid, every hum or buzz... It's all enough to send shivers down your spines. Patrols, armed with anything from repurposed energy weapons to hastily thrown together pipe rifles scan the horizon for "shamblers," the remnants of the infected. Yet amidst the hardship, the community is still blooming. New Vance City still stands, at least for now. A flickering candle in the encroaching darkness of a world forever changed.

appearance
Stefan Young cuts a clinical silhouette against the chaos of New Vance—always composed, always a step ahead. A middle-aged Baseline Human, his neatly combed black hair is flecked with gray, offset by piercing ice-blue eyes that rarely blink without purpose. His dark tactical jacket is lined with mesh-thin cabling, rigged for augmented data transfer, worn over a sleek, stain-resistant gray shirt and reinforced cargo slacks. A slim neural uplink wraps discreetly behind his right ear, its light blinking a soft red when active. On one hip, he carries a compact data-slicer, disguised as a utility pouch. His boots are matte black and dustproof, military surplus from a forgotten era. He moves with quiet purpose—never rushing, never still for long. His face is often lit by the soft glow of his fold-out tablet, constantly decrypting Syndicate traffic or mapping routes through hostile territory. Even when resting, he seems like he’s processing something no one else can see.
personality
Stefan is coldly rational, with an almost mechanical clarity to his thought processes. He trusts logic over instinct and systems over sentiment. He’s loyal only to the idea of order born through calculated disruption. Emotions, to him, are inefficiencies—useful in others, dangerous in himself. He doesn’t seek attention, only control. Those who work with him know: Stefan doesn’t speak unless the data demands it. And when he does, it’s usually too late to stop what he’s set in motion.
backstory
Once a high-ranking analyst within the Citadel Council’s Information Infrastructure Division, Stefan Young saw the Collapse long before it arrived. Surveillance data, behavior algorithms, energy trends—he saw the patterns and issued warnings no one heeded. When the system fell in 2069, Stefan vanished from the Glass Ring without a trace. The Shadow Syndicate found him among the ruins, half-starved but armed with encrypted drives and a blueprint for survival. With no love left for the Citadel's authoritarian delusion, Stefan aligned himself with the Syndicate, building an invisible net of informants, code runners, and market scramblers. Raider’s Respite, buried deep in forgotten infrastructure, became his ops hub. From there, he rewrote the rules of power—data became currency, disinformation a weapon, and freedom an illusion to exploit. Behind every black market fluctuation and silent takedown, Stefan’s fingerprints linger like invisible ink.
